A reference to our details of what was done and undone between the meetings 1836 and 1837, and the great success of the latter, will show that the most beneficial effects resulted from the searching reform introduced by the Earl of Errol into the general manage ment of the races. Without taking up apace in enumerating what had been done, we shall state simply that, pursuing the same ad mirable system, several improvements have been completed sine the last season ; the most important one consists in the removal of the old weighing house, and the erection of another on the opposite side of the course, a few yards above the Royal Stand. It abounds with convenience ; the basement is appropriated to the jockeys, weighing, &c., and is on a far better plan than the old one ; first floor, confined to the stewards and their personal friends, has a most excellent view of the heath ; the roof is furnished with steps, and is solely devoted to the use of the trainers and jockeys, who have great reason to be thankful for the pains taken for their ac commodation—there is no course in Engl knil where their conve nience is so much studied. The erection of this stand, and the re gulation that the 'horses in every race shall be saddled in front of it, altogether obviates the necessity of trainers and jockeys riding on the course, which, in consequence, is now prohibited. The removal of the old Stand gives a moae uniform appearance to the course, as the line of carriages is now uninterrupted from the turn to the top. The Judge's chair stands apart from the weighing stand on the same side, and is inclosed, in order to prevent the annoyance. of gratuitous opinions on the decision of the races. The Royal Stand has been touched up, and a tent erected at the back of it as a re freshment room, on a level with the principal door. Equal atten tion has been bestowed on the course and the gallops, which are in excellent order. A great number of lodgings have been taken for the meeting at Windsor, Egham, Staines, &c., but a considerable portion of the assemblage upon the heath yesterday were merely visitors for the day, the opportune completion of the Great Western Railway as far as Maidenhead having offered facilities for going and returning which have never before presented themselves. It is to be hoped that the Directors will take means on the Cup day to prevent the confusion and disappointment so generally complained of at Nine Elms on the Derby day. Nothing ought to be left to chance, which is indicated by the advertisement. The unfavourable state of the weather in the early part of the day naturally excited apprehensions at Windsor, not only that her Majesty would be deterred from visiting the Heath, but that the attendance generally would fall short of what had been previously anticipated ; we are happy to state, however, that these fears proved groundless, that the Queen did attend, that the company was at once numerous and fashionable, and that the weather cleared up towards the middle of the day, having effectually silenced all com plaints about the dust. The regulations on the racecourse were perfect in every respect. Upwards of 80 of the new police were present, under the orders of Superintendents Grinsell (L) and May ( A), and Inspectors Pearse (A ) and Haining (C). In immediate attendance at the Royal Stand were Messrs. Gardiner, Ledbitter, and Copes ; Sir F. Roe was also in attendance to administer summary justice to those who, in the confusion of the day, were unlucky enough to mistake the property of others for their own. With so effective a force it is . . scarcely necessary to state that the course was admirably kept, and that the pickpockets and thimble thieves were not so successful as they were under the old system. At a quarter past two the Royal party entered the Old Mile ; it consisted of seven carriages and four and a pony phaeton, attended by a large party of outriders and yeomen prickers. In the first car riage were—Her Majesty the Queen, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge, and Lady Mulgrave. In the next were—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, Duke and Duchess of Rich mond, and the Earl of Albemarle. The other carriages contained —The Dukes of Grafton and Argyle, the Countess of Albemarle, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Mulg,rave, Lord and Lady Errol, Lord Lil ford, Marquis of Conyngham, Lady Theresa Digby, Lady Caroline Legge, Lady Laura Fitzroy, Lady Caroline Lennox, Sir R. Otway, Sir G. Quentin, Sir H. Stovin, Colonel Cavendish, Miss Bagot, Miss Dillon, Miss Davis, Mr. Brand, Mr. Digby, and Mr. Murray. Most of the gentlemen appeared in the Windsor uniform. Her Majesty was received with deafening acclamations on her appear ance at the window of the Royal Stand, and during her stay on the course was repeatedly cheered by crowds of well-dressed people. Besides the Royal party we observed— Dukes—Portland, Rutland. Marquises—Exeter, Tavistock. Ladies—Wilton, Chesterfield. Lords—Lichfield, Wilton, Jersey, H. Bentinck, G. Bentinck, Villiers, Suffield, G. Lennox, Strathaven, Macdonald, Rosslyn, Cantelupe, Bruce, J. Fitzroy. Sirs J. Shelley, S. Graham. Honourables—:.G. Anson, G. 13yng, Grosvenor, A.

Just before reaching the turn Willesden went up to Pincher, and they entered the straight running abreast.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEnNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1838 REPRESENTATJON OF GLASGOW. The contest for the representation of Glasgow, in anticipation of Lord William Bentinck's being raised to the Peerage, is at last fairly opened, Mr. P. Maxwell Stewart has addressed the electors, and from severs notices lately published, it appears certain that Mr. Roebuck will stmt on the Radical interest. Both of these candidates have been already in Parliament, and must be well known to the constituency; it is, there. fore, unnecessary for us to say a word as to their respective merits. A third is spoken of from r.morig the Conservatives, but he is not yet n a med.— Glasgow Chronicle. Friday night, a meeting of the electors and ()liters favourable to the return of a Radical representative of the City in Parliament, was held in the New Secession Church, Regent-street, to consider what steps should be adopted with a view to the return of Mr. Roebuck to Parliament as their representative, in the event of Lord Wm: Bentinck being raised to the Peerage. Mr. Lang having been called to the chair, Mr. Purdie read letters which he had received from Mr. Roebuck, Colonel Thomp. Mt, and Mr. Sharman Crawford, in answer to these which he had sent •o these gentleman requesting them to stand as candidates—copie, of Colonel Thompson's and Mr. Crawford's letters will b e found below. Mr. Roebuck although he has no obi, tion to the contents of his letter being freely communicated does not wish the letter to be published. He states distinctly that should a vacancy occur, and if the radical constituency stand by their principles he will come forward as candidate for the representation. The letters having been read Mr. Ross proposed that they should wait upon the Directors of the Reform Association, in order to ascertain whether there were any letters in town with respect to Lord William Bentinck. Mr. Purdie thought it was needless to wait upon Whigs who would probab'y say as they did previous to the last election :—" Oh dear, no; commu. Meat ion from Lord William Bentinck! no, no—there is no such thing ; " and all the while have the letters enquired for in their pockets. Mr. Bur ❑ thought they should in the first instance appoint an efficient Committee with power to add to their numbers, to take all necessary measures with a view to the return of Mr. Roebuck. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Turner of Thrushgrove proposed that they should rather appoint a deputation to wait on the Directors of the Reform As sociation, or write to the clerk of that Association, to know whether any official intelligence respecting Lord William Bentinck had been re_ ceived, and whether some means might not be adopted to further a union of the Liberal party. He could have no objection to Mr. Roebuck, al though he would not pledge himself in his favour; he was most anxious to promote union. Mr. Purdie said there was no time to lose. If he had been rightly informed, the Whigs were already collecting money in the North Quarter for election purposes, and Mr. Turner had subscribed one guinea. Mr. Turner observed that attend ing to the registrations was a necessary and expensive business, in which a considerable amount of debt had been incurred, and he added, it was to defray this debt, and to raise funds for the coming registra tions, that the money was collected ; he subscribed one pound. In the course of conversation, it was stated that the Tories had commenced the work of canvassing. Several persons were named who had stated that they had been called upon and keenly canvassed. Mr. Burn's motion was agreed to and a Committee appointed. Mr. Tom) remarked that by forming an efficient Committee of Elec tors to Unite with the Universal Suffrage Committee, they took the pro. per steps to concentrate their forces. The Secretary of the Committee appointed last night, has this morning written a letter to the Chairman of the Reform Association, requesting him to call a meeting of the Association, and expressing a wish to enter into a conferente with a Committee of its members.—lbid. Correspondents of the same paper, have furnished the following paragraghs " The Clique are again at their mean, paltry work, as several of the body are at present in London concocting measures with Mr. Patrick Stewart, who is actually one of the Derby Dilly, having deserted the Whigs in 1534-35—voted against the Ballot—the extension of the suffrage—in favour of pensions —against th e p resent Speaker, and to keep in Sir Robert Peel. In fact, he is in every respect a Tory. The Clique, therefore, have allied themselves with that body; and we ap peal to the electors of Glasgow if this is fair and honourable conduct. Mr. Roebuck is expected to be in town in a few days."

WM. LEAKS, lion: Sc*. PUBLIC MEETING AT BRISTOL IN FAVOUR OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE AND THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Bristol was held on M on d ay last, in the Guildhall, in consequence of a requisition presented to the Mayor, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. H. Vincent, or London, in favour of the People's Charter. At one o'clock the Hall was well filled; the Galleries were crowded. Mr, Vincent, and Messrs Bolwell and Philips, of Bath, entered the Hall about half.past one, and were loudly cheered. Mr. M`Kay, a working man, was called to the Chair. Ile opened the business in a very able and impressive speech ; after which the first resolution, expressive of the inefficiency of the Reform Bill, was moved by Mr Morgan, seconded by Mr. Page, and supported by Mr. Philips, of Bath, and carried unanimously. Mr. JAcous moved, and Mr. CHAPEL[, seconded the second resolution, in favour of Universal Sufliage, Annual Parliaments, No Property Quali_ tkation, Equal Representation, Wages for Representatives, and the Ballot. After which the CitatrtmaN introduced to the meeting, amidst loud cheers, Mr. ViNovi; who commenced his remarks by appealing to men of all opinions, calling upon them to hear quietly all he had to say, and then to discuss their differences with him; he delivered a very long and impressive address. He reviewed the present position of parties—de nounced in bitter terms the conduct of the present Ministry—pointed out the cringing servility of the House of Commons-and clearly showed that there was no hope of an improved state of things but by a recon struction of the House of Commons. He entered into a full explanation of the People's Charter. As we have not a report of his speech, we can simply say that he was li.•tened to with marked attention, and loudly cheered throughout. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. The third resolution, pledging the meeting to the People's Chi rtcr, after being moved and seconded, was supported in a short speech of much eloquence by Mr. Thomas Bolwell, the Secretary of the Bath Working Men's Association, and carried unanimously. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Right Worshipful the Mayor, W. P. Taunton, Esq., and Mr. Ilerapath, for their impartial conduct in obtaining the use of the Guil !hall. After which W. Taunton, Esq. returned thanks in a very able speech, in which he advo rated the right of all the people to be represented in Parliament. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Vincent, who replied in a short speech ; three cheers were given for the People's Charter, and the meet ing separated. The meeting was conducted throughout with the greatest order and method, and reflects the highest honour upon the working classes of Bristol. NORWICH. TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 12• A numerous meeting was h e ld a t the Guildhall this morning, in pursuance of a notice from the Mayor, to consult on the best means of celebrating the Coronation of our beloved Sovereign, when it was unanimously agreed that a subscription be immediately entered into to feast all the poor inhabitants on that slay, the Mayor, S . S. Beare, Esq., putting his name at the head of the li s t f or the liberal sum of 150 1 ., fol lowed by Colonels Harvey and Culyer, Willett, Bolingbroke, and all the leading men, both Whig and Tory, for equally liberal Sums. A dinner is talked of at St. Andrew's Hall, for the gentry and others' subscription tickets ; and from every present appearance, a unison of purpose, as never before showe 1 itself in this c it y, will cause our old, but hit h erto disgraced, city to be joyous and h appy on the forthcoming day. such THE ROYAL SO T S FETE. The Horticultural show at Cremorne House, on Saturday neXt, to say nothing of its laudable object, will be one of the most attractive public fetes ever given in London, and Mrs. Graham, very much to her credit, volunteers an ascent with her Balloon, to give the higher classes an op portunity of witnessing a s cene which they colVd not hitherto enjoy. without mixing with an indiscriminately admitted crowd. We do hope that nothing will interf ere t o k eep away a single exhibitor or an indi vidual friend to the charity. Forty-four public and private bills received the 'Wye! Assent on Monday, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 12 The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. WOODSTOCK ELECTION COMMITTEE. Lord LINCOLN brought up the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the Woodstock Election peti tion, stating that the Marquis of Blandford was duly electeo, t!Nt the petition of Lord John Churchill was not frivolous t r vex::tious, neither was the opposition thereto. Mr. B. SMITH brought up the report of the Su Ibuly Town Lands Committee. Mr. BROCKLEHURST presented a petition from Mcc clesfield in reference to the Free Grammar School of that place.—The petition was ordered to Le reFerred to the Com mittee. • TRAMORE DRAINAGE BILL. Mr. V. STUART moved the second reading of the Tra more ( Waterford) Drainage Bill. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Rowland Alston, Esq., and Geo. Lane Fox, Esq., against the Bill, praying that it might be read a second time this day six months. The motion for the second reading having been seconded, Mr. T. DUN CO MBE moved that the Bill be read a second time this day three months. He thought that a more wild or I' visionary scheme had not been submitted to the House. A Company had been formed, consisting of 800 shares, at 251. each, for the purpose of draining and reclaiming about 2,000 acres of that strand. The reason assigned for the project was that it would be extremely beneficial to the landowners and occupiers of the neighbourhood. Now he ( Mr. Dun 'combe) was of opinion that the petition which he -had just presented, completely refuted that assertion. The petitioners had no doubt that the Company had the best in tentions possible, but he contended that they (the petitioners) were the best judges of what would be beneficial to their own interests. He contended that the p esent was an attempt to encroach upon the rights of private property, and would be very injurious to that of the individuals in question. On these grounds he would move as an amendment that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. The motion having been seconded by Mr. ALSTON, Mr. VILLIE RS STE WART complained of the unprece dented course that had been taken by the Hon. Member with respect to the measure. He regretted that he had not pre viously seen the petition, as until five minutes ago he did not understand what the grounds of complaint were. It the Bill were allowed to pass it would have the effect of pre serving 1,400 acres of land to the public from the encroach ments of the sea, and would give hundreds constant employ ment. It had been said that the Bill was only supported by small farmers—he denied that it was so, as many of the most influential landowners of the neighbourhood supported it. Hon. Gentlemen, before voting against the second reading of the Bill, ought to consider that they were not only preventing a work from proceeding which would give employment to thousands, but they were also putting an end to a work which would be of incalculable advantage to the country generally. In 1829 an engineer was s Att to value the property by the Woods and Forests' Office, and he reported it to be worth 1301. a year, independent of the value of the improvements ; therefore the property must be of considerable value. He would leave the question entirely in the hands of the House. Mr. ROWLAND ALSTON characterized the Bill as one of the most extraordinary invasions of property that had ever come within his knowledge, and he felt himself bound to oppose it. It vas a Bill that went merely to protect the projectors, and had no reference whatever to the owners of property. If the Bill were passed, it would tend to destroy much of his (Mr. Alston's) property. Several of his tenantry took sea weed for manure from what the Hon. Member called this waste land ; and would the house believe there could be any thing like truth in the statement that 1,500 acres could be recovered from the sea at the small out lay of 2 0,000/. ? Would Hon. Members support projectors of Bills in the invasion of private property, without tendering the owners something like compensation or indemnity against such losses as these Bills might subject them to? And, if the Bill were allowed to pass, his property would be scarcely of any value. He trusted that Hon. Members would give their support to the amendment of his Hon. Friend, the Member for Finsbury. Sir E. KNATCHBULL asked how it had happen° I V, at the Bill was only reported yesterday, and was this day moved to be read a second time ? which n e laenanT l ul r e . wnwch V ataaeaesssßas . dirn ngpiaglicases. dfi v.etc:Atsehrei STUAßT neswetKe.htrpahoeeEfeo tbntßtelGazetteroi3 after uti enottstpe e onhoao x i etrpdbfii was exi ‘anaidest, expirationi sadth n t srhs e aiiurbe d tet :at yt fl referred ltrt h iaberi a : neneolotwgdtuuooastnrnfstht Standing oaei the time. r eport would have been sooner presented, but the Queen's consent had not been perfectly y lthieotdeehti ftenie6Cumto afioe Bhltmxri dlieotelmedi t .fmr r i s u lt pe: e oee,:t %erfai pii t rho h atceodiorh a i nnie t , a t lPie i s i e rao s i ivuv n eas c e o t e 'e t r y; March to the 12th of June. Even according to the statements of the Honourable Member (Mr. V. Stuart) the Bill ought to have been read a second time in April. Mr. V STUART said that, as all possible diligence had been used, it was clear that no fraud was intended, and he hoped the House would be as indulgent es possible. The delay had been occasioned solely by the unfortunate circumstance that the Queen's consent had not been sooner announced in the Gazette. Mr. WYSE asked if the discussion on the merits of the Bill was to go on. The SPEAKER said, if the question were put t• him, be must, in the exercise of what he deemed a sound discretion, say that the Bill ought not to be allowed to go on.—( Hear.) Mr. V. STUA RT said he would bow to that decision. The 'SPEAKER wished it to be understood on what ground he came to that decision. • He was anxious that the rules Gf the House should be strictly observed. And in this case it appeared that the spirit of the rules had been violated by the delay which had taken place. Mr. O'CONNELL suggested that the motion should be withdrawn, that it might not appear on tho votes to have been negatived. The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member who had moved the amendment must first consent to its withdrawal. That consent having been given, the motion was accord ingly withdrawn. DURHAM UNIVERSITY. Lord DUNG ANNON presented a petition from Stockton on-Tees for an endowment of the Durham University. This petition was signed by 150 of the inhabitants of Stockton n Tees and the neighbourhood; and he heartily concurred in its prayer. .Colonel GORE LANGTON presented petitions from Somersetshire, for the immediate abolition of the system of negro a pprenticeship. Mr. MACKINNON presented a petition from Exeter, in favour of the Patent Invention Bill. Mr. PA CK INGTON presented a petition from the magis trates of the county of Worcester, against the County Courts' Bill, which they conceived to be a dangerous experiment con nected with the administration of justice, and likely to increase the expenditure very much. Mr. O'CONNEL L presented a petition from the Coombe Lying-in -Hospital against the Medical Charities Bill ; a peti tion from New Ross praying to obtain the benefit of a Muai cipal Corporation ; and two petitions from the river pilots of the port of Dublin against the Pilotage Bill, and praying for compensation. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from the united Se cession Congregation of Greenock, against any further en dowment to the Church of Scotland. The petition also prayed that no money should be granted in aid of Parochial Schools, which the petitioners stated were in such a state of mismanagement as not to deserve it. The Hole. MEMBER also presented a petition f rom t h e bankers, merchants , and others of Kin&s-Lynn, praying f or a reduction of post,ge ; and one, to the like effect, from th e the farmers and others attending Leith market; and they hoped th a t their petition would be noticed in The Sun and Morning Chronicle newspapers. INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION. Mr. GIL LON postponed to the 26th the motion of which he had given notice for the 23d instant, on the s u bj ect o f in ternational communicition. RIOTS IN KENT. Sir E. KNATC ['BULL, not seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for the Home Department in his place, hoped that some member of the Government who was present would be able to answer a question which he was desirous to pu t. Perhaps the Right Honourable the Secretary to the Treasury would be able to give him information. On Wednesday last. he ( Sir Edward Knatchhull) moved fur certain returns respecting the recent unfortunate occur rences in the county of Kent. The papers which he moved for were not numerous, and he hoped they would be laid on the table as soon as possible. He now begged to ask the Right Hon. Secretary to the Treasury whether he could say when they would be ready ? Mr. E. STANLEY'S reply was not heard. Sir E. KNATC BUL L said that he only wished that the returns should be made as soon as possible. INTERFERENCE OF PEERS IN ELECTIONS. Mr. WARBURTON wished to call the attention of the House to a petition which had been presented on the 29th of May, complaining of the interference of the Earl of Cawdor in the election of a Member to serve in Parliament for the bo rough of Carmarthen. As the Noble Earl had not done any thing which would not be lawful if done by a Member of the House of Commons, he (Mr. Warburton) had used his in fluence to prevent the complaint from coming before the House. But the nature of the complaint was not simply confined to that ; but it was, that the Earl of Cawdor, through the means of his agents, did exercise an improper influence and coercion over his tena , its, in matters concerning the election of Members for Car marthenshire—it was because he (Mr, \V.) thought his influence was improperly exercised, not simply as a Peer of Parliament but because he did that which it would have been improper in a Commoner to do, that he brought this matter before the House.—( Hear, hear.) The matters complained of were stated very fully in the petition which he •had presented, and which had been printed in the Votes. They were stated upon the authority of the two petitioners who were electors for Carmarthenshire, and who also (he stated this, in order that Hon. Members on the opposite side and the Noble Earl might have the benefit of the admission), were active partizans in behalf of Sir James Williams, the unsuc cessful candidate. The interference was said to have taken place in two o f t h e po lli ng di s t r icts where the N o bl e Ear's property princip a ll y lay. First, with regard to the poll ing dist r i ct of Newcastle Emellyn, to which the statement of Mr. Hall principally related. He should dwell less en that district, because the statements with vospect to it were somewhat general, an d h o attached no great importance to the memorial drawn up by certain of the tenants, with the intention of presenting it to his Lordship, becaese it was clear, from the phraseology in this memorial, that it W4i not drawn up by the tenants themselves, bet they, probibly ca the sugqestlon o f some euty interested i iuthioud to sign it. I - • He would now pass to the polling district of Llandillo. With regard to the interference of the Noble Earl in that district, there were documents distinctly confirming it. He had in his possession, the original of all the letters except one referred to in the petition, which he would go through seriatim. The first documents to which he would call the attention of the House were three letters, addressed to Thomas Tobias, William Jones, and David Hopkins, by Richard B. Wil iisrns, the steward of the Earl of Cawdor. The letter ad dressed to Thomas Tobias he would now read to the House. He would premise that, at the period of the election, and dur ing the transactions preceding it, the Noble Earl wee not in that House. The letter was dated from Stackpole Court, the residence of the Earl of Cetedor, and was as follows :—" Thomas Tobias, I will depend on you to plump for the Honourable Colonel Trevor, at the coming election, who is the only candidate supported by your Noble landlord, and I have no doubt you will do so. Your well-wisher—Richard Owen Williams." Similar letters had been addressed to William Jones and David Hopkins, and if the interference had been confined to these three letters, he was not certain that he would have brought the subject under the consideration of the House. But there was another letter Which had been written by Richard Owen Williams to a person named Thomas Evans, who was also a tenant of the Noble Earl, and had built an inn upon the property, relying upon the excellent private character of the Earl of Cawdor. The letter that Evans wrote to Williams was not in his pos session, but the answer that Williams wrote to the application of Evans, for liberty to split his vote, was to the following ef fect :—" Sir, your Noble Landlord's interest is given to Col. Trevor, and all support withdrawn from Sir J. Williams. You will see, therefore, that I cannot comply with your re quest, and I hope I shall find you plump for Mr. Trevor, the Conservative candidate." Ile (.Mr. W.) thought that letter pretty clearly showed the sort of influence that had been exer cised over one of the tenants at leastof the Noble Earl. The next document was the most important. He had not the original of it, but only the copy of an extract. As it was not an original docu ment, he thought it right to state the circumstances connected with it. Daniel Rees, the sub-agent of the Earl of Cawdor, acted under the direction of Mr. Owen Williams, through whom various applications were made to the electors, with a hope to induce them to plump for Colonel Trevor. On the first day of polling a meeting of many of the tenants of Lord Cawdor took place at an inn in Llandillo. Four of those tenants were called by Daniel Rees into a private room, and there a letter from Mr. Williams, the steward of Lord Cawdor, was road to them. The following was an extract from that letter :—" You had better see Evan Evans, David Tobias, and two other tenants, and tell them that as they are so very independent and so very un grateful for the indulgence shown them by their landlord, I hope to receive their rents up to Lady-day on my return to Llandillo, and then I shall see what farther is to be done in this matter. I am glad that the other parties are safe, and I am much pleased with Daniel Rees. We wish every man to plump for Col. Trevor." That extract was proved in this manner :—Daniel Rees showed the letter to Thomas Williams, of Llandillo, who was per mitted to take a copy of it ; and he knew the origi nal to be in the hand-writing of Owen Williams. In consequence of that letter, the tenants stated that though they had intended to plump for Sir James Williams they were induced to split between him and Colonel Trevor. All the other cases were of the same nature. Daniel Rees took them aside, and showing them the letter, he induced them to vote for Col. Trevor—they stated that they were in fluenced by the threat contained in the letter, and as they were willing to come forward and depose to the effect as he had stated, and such being the case, there could be no doubt but that they bad been influenced by a letter written by the steward of a nobleman.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Now, he thought that although the first letter he had read con tained many equivocal and doubtful passages, arid that that letter alone would not justify his calling the attention of the House to the subject—( Hear, hear)—yet, when he cou pled that with a letter written by Mr. Williams to • Daniel Rees, threatening, as the consequence of their not giving their votes in a way agreeable to Mr. Williams, that the parties would be called on to pay up their rents at a period at which it was unusual for them to be called upon, he must say it was a course of proceeding that was not only unworthy of a Peer but unworthy of any porson.—(Hear, hear.) It was an undue exercise of influence over the elector, and, therefore, it was necessary the attention of the House should be called to it. If the facts he had stated were considered as resting on good and satisfactory evidence, as they appeared to him, the question was how it was proper for the House to notice this matter. He con fessed that he attached no very great importance to the resolution of the House, which laid it down that it was an improper thing for a Peer to concern himself in the election of a Commoner, in a manner that would be perfectly justifiable on the part of the Commoner; and he did not wish (although he meant to conclude with a motion that the petition be referred to a Committee of Privileges) to Icall the attention of the house to the conduct of Earl Cawdor, simply on account of his doing that which on the part of a Commoner it might have been proper to do. It was 7 solely to that 1 art of Lord Cawdor's conduct that he wished 'to call the attention of the House, so far as the conduct of his steward appeared to have implicated him in transac tions which would have been unworthy of a Commoner, He had opposed the motion of the Hon. Member for Shrews bury, because he held it to be absolutely impossible to prevent the exercise of intimidation on the part of the landlord. Neither could such conduct be checked by moral reprobation; and his object in calling the attention of the House to this matter was to show the impossibility of checking it by such meats. He asked was there a Noble in the land who could be prevented by moral reprobation front intimi dating his tenants, if so blameless a noblemen as the Earl of Cawdor could not be prevented by it ? It might be asked, why did he (Mr. W.) bring this matter before the House, if Le was convinced that neither by pains or penalties, nor by moral reprobation, could such practices be checked. His answer was that he thought it was only by repeatedly bringing the attention of the House to such transactions, he could obtain the admission that the evil existed. It was only by doing so he could expect to raise a demand for the cure of the evil; which he was satisfied could only be ef- fected by giving the protection of secresy to the voter. He begged to move that this petition be referred to a Com mittee of Privileges. It was not his intention to press that motion to a division.--( Laughter from the Opposition Benches.) He only made this motion in order to enable those Hon. Members wile might have any counter statements or ohs servations to make support of the petition, that they thight have the opportunity of discussing it. Mr. AGLIO NB Y seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM said he was fully prepared to answer the charges brought forward by the Hen. Gentleman opposite ; but when he considered the period of the session, the pressure of public business, the refusal, the somewhat peremptory re fusal given by the Noble Lord last night to his Right Honourable Friend to give the precedence of discussion of so important a question as this_;whether the House should retain or part with the jurisdiction of the trial of controverted elections—when he considered all these circumstances, he confessed he was amaeed that a Member of so much discretion and experience as the Honourable Mem ber for Bridport should have determined to take prece dence on the ground of privilege with such a motion as this.—(Hear, bear.) At the very outset be bad aban doned it as a motion. He sa'd lie did not bring it forward with reference to the conduct to the Earl of Cawdor, as a Peer of Parliament ; but only as a question which he would have mooted, had similar conduct been adopted by a Com moner. If that were his ground, it failed him altogether. What did lie admit ? First of all, that the petitioners were hot partisans of the defeated candidate —next, that the Earl of Cawdor was a gentleman who might be re lied on in all the relations of life —next, that all the mat ters in one of the polling districts were unobjectionable, and that he placed no reliance on them.—( No, no.) If he ( Sir James Graham) mistook not, the lion. Member rested the case on one letter, the original of whi c h h e did not possess, and the aut h ent i city of which he sought to establish, Lord Cawdor did not disown the acts of his agent —he _—..e gav e his interest to one of the candidates, his Hon. Friend who sat behind him, and opposed Sir James Williams. The number of electors in the county of Carmartha n was 5,a00, and the mem bers at the last election had been returned by a small majority. By how many electors had the present petition been signed—by two individuals. One of them was Mr. Adams, the eldest son of a gentleman who lied formerly represented that county, and would the house believe that, at the election of 1 832, Mr. Adams, senior, made a journey from Carmarthen to Pem broke, to the Earl of Cawdor, in the hope of persueding him to give him his vote. Earl Cawdor had done so, and the conse quence was that Mr. Adams was returned, and ackrsw. hedged the favour in the following letter :—" It is with I the greatest gr a tifi ca ti on that r. turn my warmest thanks to your Lordship for the All...powerful support accorded to me at the late election—( Ministerial cheers, followed by Tory cheers)e-arrd to which I may gaiely say I at. tribute the success that has attended me, .1 shall always he proud to acknowledge by word and deed my sense cif the obli gation conferred on me by your Lordship, and I than always try to merit a continuance of your favour." So much for the object non of the Adams' family to the influence of the Earl of Cawdor and the Carmarthen election. The second individual whose name was attached to it, was a provincial barrister, having barely a qualification for a vote —one who had not been slow et moments of contest to ask the support of Lord Cawdor. At the election in 1835, this Mr. Lloyd Hall wrote to Williams, the culprit, agent of the Earl of Cawdor, requesting his permission t o canvass th e N o bl e E ar l' s tenants fur Mr. Price. So that in fact he was applying to the agent of Lord Cawdor for his support. But it was said that these gentlemen were warm supporters and partisans of Sir James Williams. Now it was clear that the petition owed its origin to the heat of the last general election. The subject of the pe tition, or the petition itself, was not new to the House, for seven months ago it was brought with great pomp into the Howe by three Honourable Members, of whom the Noble Lord opposite was one. The Speaker was pressed to present the petition to the House as a gross d breach of privil e ge, w hi c h h e decline doing, S even Intml l is had elapsed, and nothing had been done in that House, though a great clot;; Last taken place ont, Lord Cawdor had been teasluced in the puiblie prints in the most virulent manner, and such leoisig the case, he ( Sir James Graham) thought it teat justice to his Noble Vaiend to state what had talsev i plaile between Lord Cawd4iAnd Sir J. Williams the insinediate promoter of the petition. Now a meenooial that had been referred te by the Hon. Member wee a memorial by three voters, who eteted that they underetood that his Lord ship no lortge t e supported reform prineiples, that threats had been toed by his Lordship's_tvient to compel his tenants tq sate for a donservativg candidate, that they wo`:.Wt taller° to the F 111 QIPI" they had always professed, :44a vote for Sir Jallin Williams, notwithstanding the sentiments entertained by the Nollle I, 4 er.d Tlf44.loeuAi a l was dated Jul,li, 1837, but it , was never presented to the Noble Earl, and the allegation of threats was totally without foundation. At the election of 1831 L or d C an d or wrote a letter to Sir James Williams, then a candidate for the county of Carmarthen, expressing his regret at understandirg that he had become an advocate for Triennial Parliaments and Vote by Briton and requese7ng to be informed on these matters, in order to a right understand ing as to whether he should afford him his support or not. To that letter Sir James Williams replied that the repei t had been ill founded; that he was perfectly satisfied with the Reform Bill then proposed by the Ministers, and that he would never' nice his voice fur further concession..—( Hear, hear.) Upon this assurance he received the support of Lord Candor, and succeeded in obtaining his seat. At the election of 1832 he also obtained his interest. At the general elec tion in 1835, the county was again contested, and great anxiety was felt as to how the Noble Ea: l's influence would be used. The Noble Lord opposite (Ebrington) was very anxious to obtain that influence for his brother-in-law. ( The Right Hon. Baronet then read a letter from Sir krnes Williams, enclosing his Lordship an address to the electors, which stated that his (Sir James Williams's) principles were unchanged.) The Right Hon. Baronet continued —l e an _ swer to that Lord Cawdor wrote a letter to Sir James Wil liams, stating that from his having stated his intention not to seek anything more from the G overnment a f ter t h e passing of the Reform Bill, with which he expressed himself perfectly satisfied : that he did not deem his address as indicating that he held Radical inions; and that u n d er t h ose c i rcumstances he (Lord Cand o r should have no hesitation in giving him his support. From his address to the electors it did trot ap pear that he was an advocate for secret voting nor for triennial Parliaments, and his allusions to the Church conveyed an idea that upon that subject he (Sir James Williams) did not hold different opinions from Lord Candor. The letter of his Lordship went on to say that if he had mistaken the views of Sir James, as indicated by his address, he trusted to his honour not to receive his support. To this letter Sir James Williams sent an answer, stating that Lord Cawdor had not at all mistaken his views upon the subject of his address, that his feelings upon them were precisely similar to those of his Lordship, and expressing in the warmest manner his thanks for the support he had received. In 1834 Lord Candor sup ported Sir James Williams under those circumstances ; but he did not continue that support, and his reasons for refusing to do so were quite evident. He (Sir James Graham) would now call the attention of the House to these facts, which were deserving its attention. Sir James Williams, after this decla ration of his sentiments, voted in favour of the motion of Mr, Ripon for the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords.—( Hear, hear.) Secondly, he was a member of Mr. Leader's Committee when that Honourable Gentleman stood for Westminster, in 1837 ; and, thirdly, the agent of Sir James Williams, upon the occasion of a local meeting upon the subject of Church-rates, voted for the postponement of the Church-rate. These occurrences created such a misunder standing at the last election, that the Noble Lord saw that it was impossible he could give his support to Sir James Wil hems, seeing the change which had taken place in his opi nions, and in his political conduct. —( Hear, hear.) And this was the only foundation for the assertion that Lord Cawdor had given up the opinions which he had formerly held with re spect to the Reform Bill, He did not wish to speak with contempt of anything emanating from that Hon. House, but be should remark that at this time of day every one lookes'e upon the resolution of the House with regard to the ineesfe. retice of Peers as little better than a dead letter -_no one thought of obeying it literally.—( Hear.) Did it other No ble Lord use any influence at elections ? Did no Lords_ Lieutenants, or Vice-Lieutenants use any influence at elec tions ? Did not a Vice- Lieutenant, the Noble Lord opposite ( Lord Ebringtou), use his influence at the election for De vonshire ? Did not that Noble Lord canvass his father's tenantry ? At the last election a Noble Earl had been actively .engaged in opposition to him (Sir J. Grate m.) Did he complain of that opposition? Far from it. There should he an influence attached to property and station. Was a country_ gentleman of five or six thousand a year to have influence in the county, and a Peer with forty or fifty thousands to have none ? The resolution of the House was not sufficient to contravene hthis. Every Hon. Member who heard him was aware that it ad l ong s i nce fallen into disuse. I t wov l d be highly dan erous to act u p on i t. He (Sir James Graham) would con tend for the influence of property. The influence of the Peels, so far from its application being reprehensible, was of service to the country. The people of England were not tr, be frightened into an acquiescence with the political feel;: e g s of a landlord ; that was not their character.. The case, how ever, rested principally upon a letter. He would. eeirnit that the letter of the steward was injudicious in its expression s ; but it was written in the absence of Lord Candor. And he would remind the House that such menus had been used to convey an erroneous idea to the tenanis of Lord Cawdor with regard to his Lordship's views that it was necessary, in some forcible language, to counteract those exertions. fie (Sir J. Graham) would not trespass longer upon the House, for he conoeived the allegations of this trumpery case had been Answered, Lord EBRINGTON said, as he had been saluded to by the Right Hon. Baronet who had just sat down, lie shoul take that opportunity of stating the connection 'which he hindd with the petition alluded to, The Right Hon. Baronet had stated that be ( Lord Ebrington) formed one of the deputation who went to bring up that petition. He wished to correct that mis take. Subsequently to the election his brother-in-law, Sir J. Willienis, wrote to him, stating, that the petition was about to be presented, and requested his support of it. In consequence of that letter he naittoi upon the gentleman to whom it was. :ntrusted, when he (Lord Ebrington) found that it complained of the interference of Lord Candor. He expressed his opi. nion, which he still held, that a Peer had a right to a certain influence, and he had not since that period taken any part in support of that petition. It was not his intention to enter into a discussion of the subject ; his only view in rising to a:lt:tress the House was to disabuse the mind of the Right Hon. Baronet and th e Iloth:e with respect to his conduct in relation to the petition. Air. AGL lONBY said that it was quite cleer that an at, tempt at intimidating the electors had been made, and lie hoped that the letter admitted to have been written by a person to whom was delegated the authority of Lord Candor would have the effect of creating a feeling in favour of extending to elec tors the protection of secret all t(i.so•enitisoiufsseucohuginh-t terference wore to be permitt e d u IU expunge from its books the resolution aga it. Lord P instiv P. EGERTON cou ld not conceiv e lion the let' read by the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) co, - eld be deemed irrelevant. If a Noble Lord's character 'lied been sought to be blackened—if a charge against him }sail been al _ lowed to remain before the public for months— seas it irrele vent to produce lenses and documents in. contradiction of was tifforded? Ile those eharges when the proper opportunity should not trouble the House by any lengthened observations upon this trumpery csse.—( Cheers.) The Hon. Member who spoke last had expressed a hope that this case would create a feeling in favour of the Ballot, For his part, he ( Lord P. Egerton) had heard nothing to change those opinions whit Is he bad ever entertained upon that subject. Mr. HIINIE said, that although it had been said this was a convenient way of circulating; a libel, the truth of the allega tions contained in the petition had not been deni e d, i t h a d been called a t rumpery case ; but, in his opinies„ it was a very important one. It was a strong argument in favour of the Ballot. The tendency of all the letters read by the Right Hon. Baronet went to show that the, tenantry were regularly bargained for, and handed over as the landlords pleased. Colonel TREVOR had reeeived the support of the Noble Lord (Lord Cawdor) at the last election for Carmarthenshire, and it had nut placed hi:n in a majority much larger in amount than that which he lord at former elections, when the Noble Lord opposed him, His election had certainly not been de termined by that support. With regard to the influence exec. eked by the Noble Lord, it was such as was generally used throughout the country ; it was not only proper but advanta geous that they should exercise such an influence upon their poorer neighbours, and it was as much in use amongst the gentleraen who were opposed to him in the county he repre sented as by those with whose support he bad been honourbeZ t . Mr. \VA RD s-ni it would eppear the constituency 'were afraid to move. Whichever way they turned they were ; afraid of offending some one_Lord Candor or his agent ; they were between Scylla and Charybdis. fie trusted suet, a state of things would soon be put an end to. Sir J. OWEN was understood to deny the truth of the allegations contained in the petition, whieth he asserted was little short of libellous in its form as far as it referred to Mr. Williams. The very first paragraph was false. Lo - d WORSLEY did not sopriesse that Lord Candor was aware of cite pre:flees complain-A of in the petition, but his own obeersettion led him to h sieve in their existence. From that observation he had ware than once regretted his voting for the fifty pound elap se , w hi ch gave the tenant-at-will a vote for Menthers of Parliement. It was common for tenants to be afraid to vote :or their landlord for fear of offending the steward. Lord J. RUSSELL deprecated bringing on a discussim which was at likely to he carried into any practical result, The picture drawn by the Right Hon. Member of the state of uncertainty in which Lord Cawdor's tenants were placed was truly pitiable—(Laughter) —a n d if anything could warrant the vote by Ballot it would be the desire to remove that uncertainty. But he (Lord J. Russell) doubted very much the efficacy of that remedy ; and he thought that, with such indifference as they manifested in respect to the candi date fur whom they voted, it would only increase their dart cultiei. and make their embarrassments greater. Seeing this, he only wished to say that, though the motion was brought forward without a result landlords were not to suprdse that cases of oppression for the exercise of the elective. franchise would be I.'ft unnoticed by the House. Lord STANLEY said that if any thing could give Lord Cawdor pleasure in connection with the ease it would be the observations of the Noble Lord opposite. Mr. WARBURTON replied. The motion was then tvgative,it with out a di v i s i on. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX.
